Shadow Leaper

Author Comments

Shadow leaper is a 2D Arcade Platformer made using the Godot 3.1.1 Engine. The Game has 4 Difficulty settings, i recommend playing on the casual difficulty if you’re starting out and get the hang of it. The Game is supposed to be fast paced. It is divided among 10 Levels some of which are very difficult to complete especially on harder difficulty modes. The Game saves your high scores, so you can always beat your high score if you complete the game.

The Game has many hidden paths and items which will make your game easier or difficult depending on what you do. keep in mind this is not a rage game and isn’t designed to be that way, it’s a fast paced game where you require patience and practice to get through, however you can always try speed running through the game and the game has a lot of potential for that because of many different tricks you can perform to improve your completion time.

If you want a better performing version or the Desktop version you can download it here : https://sherrygames.com/shadow-leaper/

It also works on Linux and MAC

Note:- The game works better on chrome and even better on desktop.

i really like the concept of this game. it's dang fun and a stiff challenge too, and in my books, that's the definition of a great game.

the game reminds me of McMillen's "The End is Nigh", in a way. they both have simple mechanics that you must master to traverse brutal landscapes. they're both difficult yet also fun, and have a great bit of charm in them.

there is a few things that could be changed for the better in this game. checkpoints in some of the longer levels would be nice, and having only your life count change between difficulty modes is a bit eh, but these problems barely affect the game's core, which is very solid.

this game well deserves a 5 star from me. what can i say? i'm a sucker for games that have the big 3, those being good concept, challenge, and enjoyment to be had.

Those are really kind words Thank you. You really get the point of the game. I wanted it to be easy to pickup but difficult to fully master. Being Fun was probably the biggest thing i wanted in the game.

I haven't played The end is nigh but i will surely give it a try now.

I Understand your criticism that difficultly setting could be improved, currently they just change the number of lives and time. I feared the game might become too hard. I thought of adding checkpoints in longer levels like 7 or 10 but personally i thought without them it made it even more satisfying to complete the levels.

Thank you for giving the game 5 stars but more importantly thank you for playing the game.

it feels really awkward

sherrydragonair responds:

I'm sorry that you feel that way, i tried to make the game as smooth to play and pick up as possible, maybe it's the browser version that is causing it, you can try the desktop version which runs much better.

also if you're having problem with the controls, the game has full controller support, also you can use different keys like Space or W for jump instead of the Up key.
